So now, hinckley buzzard, you're becoming an apologist for the sexual perp crowd? Really?
#1 If you look @ the Trib sidebar, you'll note that between 1992-1997, you might average 1 educator dismissed for drug-related charges per year; 7 per year for sexual misconduct; 2 others for something else (average is 10 total per year). Starting in 1998 the rate went from 10 to an average of 21 per year over the past dozen years -- more than doubling! (Seems to coincide with the internet porn era) Of those 21, the average has been about 14 per year due to sexual misconduct...
#2 What? You want to send your sons & daughters to schools in a state where each year, you know 14-15 perps or more will be caught for sexually exploiting either them or their classmates?
#3 About over half of those 20,000 licensed educators are the 6th grade & under educators -- and those aren't really the ones (for the most part) they're having problems with -- it's the other 45%..and even then, most of the problems aren't even with the 15% of educators involved at the 7th-8th grade junior high level.
Does the article really say only 208? (It says that didn't include another 10 cases before the Utah Professional Advisory Board)
Beyond that, the reality is likely that you have...
...about 200 perps (of the 208-218) among 6,000 high school educators over 17 years. [And those were the ones that were publicly caught]
In fact, the ratio is probably around 175-180 high school educator-perps of 4,000 who've been around since 1998--given the reality that the sexual perp rate doubled when comparing '92-'97 to '98-'09...
So you've got some remedial ed needed for your math, H.B.: 'Cause that would make it anywhere from one out of EVERY 30 high school licensed educators had their license revoked over sexual misconduct...between the '92 and '09...and one of every 22-23 high school licensed educators between '98 and '09.
You don't even need a full two dozen high school educators in Utah...One's going to get caught for sexual misconduct! But according to you, you don't get too excited over what you claim is "Not exactly an epidemic."
